Recently seen guys coming into the office with their own keyboards, mentioning stuff like short key strokes and what not and other characteristics that might improve work performance (M&A). Are there any preferences or suggestions on this forum?

The only thing more obvious than the fact that this is overkill for banking is how much you clearly just wanted to talk about keyboards.
feels like an excerpt from american psycho lol
this guy keyboards
I've never seen someone so passionate about keyboards.
Wasn't expecting such an exhaustive response, thanks for the insights. But would you agree that the prolonged key stroke of mechanical switches puts you at an disadvantage compared to the more "slimmer" keyboard layouts you often find on modern notebooks (apple macbook, dell xps...) due to more force or travel being necessary?
Neglecting premium response and durability I was actually looking for something slim and fast to type on without getting my fingers "stuck" in between those heavy and "long" keys? Does that make sense? Any recommendations on that, since your keyboard game seems to be quite advanced?
Do you have a shortcut for Alt + O + C + D?
Kidding aside, I use two keybaords at the same time which usually freeks people out. Left hand on laptop keyboard one hand on regular. Probably has something to do with playing music.
Your level of stoke for keyboards gets me stoked.
I genuinely thought this was just a very long and well thought out troll post at first. Apparently, he's not kidding.
When the shortcuts aren't short enough, you have
shorter shortcuts for shortcuts lol
Username checks out.
Actually using AHK to bind Excel key binds to a single key is a fantastic idea. I'm going to do that.

I now know more about keyboard than ever in my life. Thanks for this excellent writeup. Probably the best comment ive ever seen here.

Don't be that guy that carries his own keyboard to the office. Especially not one that's obnoxiously loud.
I say this as someone who has spent exorbitant sums on keyboards.
That said Ergo Clears gave reasonable advice if you really want to be That Guy.
I have yet to find anything that is so nice to type on as the Lenovo Carbon X1. It is my white whale.
Get a mechanical keyboard and annoy the hell out of everyone around u
I have a mechanical keyboard and it's great. My rec is to either get the quieter switches or add dampeners since you don't want to annoy the shit out of everyone around you.
Bringing own keyboards to work? Hahaha Not sure if I should be worried about those guys, or for their keyboards.
Either way, I wouldn't leave them alone with their keyboards in a room
